“If you want a good poke' place, look to Monarch Poke' ... this is one of the few places we frequent, we always grab Poke' Nachos here wether it be the garlic chili oil ahi and the furikake salmon Poke' Nachos, or just going for a simple California Poke' Bowl. They pack quite a punch to your hankering for food. As for me, my favorite thing to grab is their ube cheesecake. :)
So if you're in need of a good suggestion for poke' bowls other than your typical Foodland Poke' Bowls 🥣 this place is definitely on that map of suggestions. :D
As they have tables for you to enjoy your bowl and just relax for a while.“

“Today was my first time ordering online and eating the chicken katsu plate. The ordering online experience was super easy and when I went in to pick up my order it was ready and the people at the counter were very pleasant and very helpful. The katsu here was one of the best ive ever had.“
“So although its been awhile, I’ve eaten takeout from here many times before and I always get the same thing all the time, the #14 Teriyaki Beef Bowl with Black Rice. You have your choice of rice ? including white but i can get white rice anywhere. I can’t get black. Good tasting and healthy. Comes with small cup of clear broth. $14.99 isn’t cheap by any means hence the 4 stars but it is unique and different from my usual, plus rising costs of ingredients, mall rent and just plain running a business in Hawaii, $14.99 is almost average. Its clean, employees are friendly and I’m satisfied so it works out fine. Will be back.“

“A Must-Visit Poke Spot
I’d been looking forward to visiting this place for three days, and it was worth the wait. If you're exploring this part of the island, this spot is a must-visit. Just remember to plan your day around it, as they're only open from 11 am to 4 pm. You might want to skip breakfast so you can really enjoy your meal!
Easy to Find, Easy to Park
The restaurant is about a 16-minute drive from downtown Honolulu. While it's a bit tucked away, finding a parking spot is a breeze—they have a large parking lot, which is a big plus. The moment you walk in, you'll notice how incredibly clean it is. This instantly gives you peace of mind, especially since you’ll be enjoying fresh, raw ingredients.
Friendly and Helpful Service
The staff was great, and the cashier was very kind and patient with my questions. She was so dedicated to helping me that she asked her team for more details about the ingredients to make sure her answers were perfect.
The Food: Unforgettable Poke
I ordered a poke bowl for $16, which lets you choose two different types of poke. I went with the spicy ahi tuna with masago and the traditional Hawaiian poke. I also added some delicious toppings like seaweed salad, dried cod (Taegu), and pickled ginger for just $1 each—a deal that’s definitely worth it.
The portion size is huge, weighing over a pound, and the presentation was beautiful. The flavors were incredible—complex and layered. The seaweed brought a taste of the sea, the pickled ginger added a tangy kick, and the spicy tuna was perfect. The Taegu, a local dish with Korean roots, gave the bowl a savory, chewy texture that made it even better.
For a drink, I chose a local Hawaiian Sun juice. It’s a great option with natural flavors, but if you want to balance out the richness of the poke, a simple water works best.
The poke bowl here is one of the most flavorful and satisfying I've had on Oahu.
A Treat to End the Meal
I also tried the shave ice with mochi, vanilla ice cream, and condensed milk. While I found it a bit too sweet for my taste (which is pretty common for local desserts), the coconut banana flavor was amazing. The small size is big enough for two people, so consider sharing it. Even if you're not a shave ice expert, this is a great place to try it.
I spent $19 poke with add ons +1.5 drink + 11 shave ice with-add ons
Unfortunately if you need to use the restroom that do not have one so make sure that you are not in a hurry and not need one .“

“Chef Elmer made our tasting experience 1000/10. Wedding planning is stressful enough and he made making the dinner menu a breeze!! He’s super accommodating and very very nice will always recommend! And will 100% be back in the future when visiting Hawaii. Thank you again you’re the best!!“
“Formerly known as Maili Pastele, Ohana Maili Market is now its name. They have awesome food for lunch & maybe dinner too. My favorite is their Poke Bowl with Taegu on top!! And then they have other foods such as laulau plate, baked chicken mushroom, hamburger steak, etc. These guys is THE BOMB dot COM!!“
“Get there early and you’ll be very happy. This place has some of the best poke you can find anywhere. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, which makes sense given the location—right on the fishing docks. You can really tell the fish hasn’t traveled far from the ocean to your plate. The selection is excellent, the flavors are spot-on, and the atmosphere feels authentic and local, not touristy. Watching the boats and being so close to where the fish are brought in just adds to the experience. If you’re serious about good poke, this spot is absolutely worth a visit—just don’t wait too late in the day or you might miss out.“

“They were temporarily closed, but now they’re back with new ownership and an exciting reopening! The menu is easier to navigate, with tons of new original drinks and even more yakiniku options. Definitely worth checking out for the fresh updates!“
“I went there on Wednesday about 115p. There's lots of free parking. I like the male cashier employees because they're more friendly. This time I got the crispy noodle with chicken. But I've also ordered garlic shrimp, salt and pepper shrimp, chicken wings. These are the plate lunches I like the most. I would continue to eat here if I'm in the area“
